Some eight hours this weekend, all painted in photoshop. I had a brainwave at work, and did a little inch by inch thumbnail of this image. Went home, after boozing and whatnot... and painted it. I was originally going to do it in acrylics, but pussed out in the end. I used the old photos of munitions tests on fruit and a guy standing in a bidness suit as ref. I stuck with the color scheme of the fruit being shot, and used the splatter texture from the photo because at a distance, I wanted it to read like that.

Interesting piece. Not sure how, but I see some kind of message in here regarding education. Maybe something to the effect of "it's just a business now, so f*ck it?" I dunno. Run with that. LOL Great work.
